Such talented musicians! GREAT selection of artist/song from the neo-soul genre. Appreciated the dialogue of information about the concert music selections and what each musician shared about themselves/their instrument. Will definitely be attending more shows!

I loved this experience with every song. I appreciate the introductions to the songs and I have to say Jalayne was holding it down! She's lovely and I really loved the string slaps keeping the beat. I especially loved the rendition of Sade and D'Angelo songs. Thank you all for a wonderful night and be safe.

10 out of 10!!! The quartet was nothing short of spectacular. My 13 year old son, who plays the viola and bass in his middle school orchestra, thoroughly enjoyed himself. It’s was a great mother and son outing!
